DOOSAN PUMA 480 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe represents a mid-range turning center designed for precision cylindrical and conical part production. The 21-inch chuck accommodates workpieces up to 6.5 inches in bar capacity, while the 25.5-inch maximum turning diameter and 35.5-inch swing over bed provide substantial material handling versatility. With 42 inches of available machining length, the machine accommodates extended workpieces for complex shaft and component manufacturing. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 1,500 RPM, this lathe prioritizes torque and stability over high-speed finishing, making it ideal for heavy-duty roughing and medium-duty finishing operations on larger diameter stock. The integrated tailstock provides essential support for extended workpieces, enhancing precision and reducing deflection during machining. Control is managed through a FANUC 32i Model A CNC system, delivering reliable automation, repeatable accuracy, and user-friendly programming capabilities. The 2-axis configuration controls movement along the X-axis (radial positioning) and Z-axis (longitudinal travel), enabling efficient production of turned components with symmetrical and stepped profiles. This machine suits small to medium production runs requiring consistent quality, moderate complexity operations, and straightforward programming. Its robust construction and proven control platform make it suitable for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities focusing on reliability and ease of operation over advanced multi-axis capabilities.
